The Sophie Germain Search is a PrimeGrid sub-project searching for Sophie Germain and Twin prime pairs. It was launched in 2009 as a successor to the Twin Prime Search sub-project.

Search range

The current iteration of the project is searching for prime numbers of the form k•21290000-1, for k ≤ 1013.

PrimeGrid Forum thread is not current, still data for n=666666 given (k ≤ 41 • 1012).

Sophie Germain pairs take the form k•21290001-1 or k•21289999-1, and Twin pairs take the form k•21290000+1.[1]

As of September 2020, the search is currently at k ≥ 5.5 • 1012. (Live status)

The first version of the project searched for prime numbers k•2n-1 for 666,666 ≤ n ≤ 666,691 with varying ranges of k values up to 38.5 • 1012.

Found primes

As of September 2020 the project has found over 8400 primes, with 2 Sophie Germain pairs and 2 Twin pairs. Each of these discoveries are currently the largest and second largest known pairs in their respective categories.
